When technology doesn't cut it.

Sometimes, although we have all this great window cleaning gear it's necessary to revert back to what most of us started out with. I'm, of course talking about the trusted scrim, squeegee and T-Blade. These tools of the trade have served many of us window cleaners very well, and sometimes it's necessary to whip them out even if we're using a great WFP system. Perhaps the window isn't responding well to pure water and not all the dirt has been removed. You can either give it another rinse, but a lot of the time if it's safe to reach the window by a secured ladder or if it's withing reaching distance giving the window a quick clean with the squeegee, scrim and T-Blade. By doing this you can save on your pure water consumption, and ensure the client is left with clean windows. T-Blades and scrims come in various sizes, so it's important to have a nice range of sizes for those different window types; single panes, double glazing, leaded windows, conservatory doors etc. Usually I'll only need my trusted 12" T-blade and 12" squeegee, but I have for larger windows/doors 16" and 14" respectively and for the leaded windows I'll use a 9" T-blade and 7' squeegee. Also a good tip, is to add a few drops of GG4 to your water to make the action that much smoother and get you better results.
